Hostelz.com's Review

Montenegro Hostel Kotor is a relatively quiet but very comfortable hostel with friendly and welcoming hosts.

The Location

Situated right in the heart of Kotor Old Town, this hostel is in an excellent location. The directions provided by the hostel are very easy to follow, and if in doubt, just ask for the museum, which is located right next door. The hostel is close to cafes, restaurants, and has a reasonably priced mini-market next door. The entrance to the Kotor Fortress Walk is only a few minutes away, and from the hostel you get a nice view of the square.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The dorm rooms are clean, with a self-locking locker for each guest. Guests are given keys to the hostel and to their room and security seems to be pretty good. Each bed comes with linen, duvet, pillow, and towel. There are double rooms available too but make sure you don't get the one attached to the common room, as it can be a little noisy when people are socialising. The dorm rooms are getting air conditioning installed for summer, which is not a bad idea, considering they get quite warm at night even with the windows open.

The bathrooms are clean but a little cramped. There is shower gel and shampoo free for guests to use, which is always nice. There is plenty of space to hang your towel and clothes but it is debatable whether the amount of showers available would suit the number of guests in peak season. There is, however, a separate toilet as well.

Common Spaces

The common room looks like a nice tavern, with dark wood furniture and plenty of seating. There are two kitchens located just next to the common room, which is very handy when more than one person is cooking. The kitchen is also one of the best equipped we've seen. There is another common room down at the reception and the staff are happy to make you a coffee and chat about activities and tours around Kotor. The internet is fast and the common room has board games for guests to use.

Summary

Overall, you won't be disappointed with this hostel. It isn't exactly a "party" hostel, but has a really nice social atmosphere and is located near all the coolest bars in Kotor. If you like to cook your own meals, then you will find everything you need in their well-stocked kitchens.

Great location, warm and friendly placeThe staff at Montenegro hostel we're warn and welcoming. The place was clean, comfortable and in a great location. We used the kitchen twice and it was one of the best equipped that we've come across! Great place, fantastic hostel.— Bek, age 27, Australia (2014-05-16)
